Obama Defends Biden's 'Chains' Remark, Silent on Left-wing Shooter

By Bobby EberleAugust 16, 2012 7:13 am

Text Size:AAA

Wednesday was a very revealing day if you want to know what Barack Obama is all about. There were two incidents, both deserving of comment. In one, Obama revealed so much about his true character with the words he said. In the other, Obama possibly revealed even more by what he didn't say.

First, let's talk about the shooting at the offices of the Family Research Council. It was the breaking news story of Wednesday, and it certainly garnered the attention of politicians and the public alike. Check out the details of the shooting from the AP story on GOPUSA.

Shortly after the shooting, GOP presidential candidate issued a statement expressing his sorrow for what happened:

"There is no place for such violence in our society," he said. "My prayers go out to the wounded security guard and his family, as well as all the people at the Family Research Council whose sense of security has been shattered by today's horrific events."

What did Barack Obama say in his statement? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Why? Because he issued no statement.

Later in the day, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was asked about Obama's reaction and said that Obama was notificed and "expressed his concern for the individual injured." That's it. If the security guard hadn't acted, this left-wing wacko could have wounded or killed many people.

Next we have the incident which I reported yesterday where Joe Biden told a largely black audience that Mitt Romney and the Republicans were "going to put y'all back in chains."

I didn't realize they say "y'all" in Delaware.

So... what does Obama say about this one? He defends it! That's right... as reported by the Associated Press, in an interview with People Magazine, Obama said "Biden's remarks meant consumers would be worse off if Republicans succeeded in doing away with new restraints on financial institutions."

"In no sense was he trying to connote something other than that," Obama said.

"The truth is that during the course of these campaigns, folks like to get obsessed with how something was phrased even if everybody personally understands that's not how it was meant," Obama told the magazine. "That's sort of the nature of modern campaigns and modern coverage of campaigns. But I tell you, when I'm traveling around Iowa, that's not what's on people's minds."

Ah right... what's on people's minds are things like the economy, jobs, the debt, maybe even these rising gas prices. Talking about those issues, Mr. President? Or perhaps you're still harping on tax returns and Bain Capital. That sure is a solid campaign platform!

Paul Ryan didn't dismiss the remarks as easily as Obama did. As Fox News reports, Ryan told Sean Hannity that Biden's remark were a sign of a "desperate campaign."

"You know, these are the kinds of things you say when you're desperate in a campaign," Ryan said of Biden's comments. "I think you're going to hear more of these things as we go on because they have a terrible record and can't run on it so they're going to kind of sink this campaign to these low levels to distract people.

"To try and you know, stoke the emotions of fear and envy, and it's just not going to work. People are going to see through this. We've gone from hope and change to anger and division and blame and attack and I think people are going to see through this," he said.

So there you have it. Obama jumps to the defense of Biden, but silent about a shooting that grabbed national attention. Two events and two of the most revealing responses from Obama.

I heard Biteme when he made the hair-brained remark on C-span and he was not referring to anything else than ‘puttin y’all back into chains’ to his mostly black audience. He made his voice to sound like Southern drawl to accentuate his point. Now we hear what ‘he really meant.’ People need to remember and take into account that it was a REPUBLICAN president that signed the Emancipation Proclamation; not the Dems. If Dems had have had their way slaves would still be slaves. And when you stop to consider: The Dems have made ‘slaves’ out of free people with their ‘handouts’ and obligatory offerings. O what a price many are paying for the pitiful pittance that is given to ‘buy’ them.
Wake up and vote in the Nov. election for Romney / Ryan.

They are both so far gone. obama doesnt know half of whats going on. He should read these blogs. Biden is a joke.

Many a true word is spoken is jest, and many a true meaning is spoken by a Biden slip of the tongue, or an Obama ignoring of an issue important to the people that his failure in office has failed to address and might just cost him an election. When you get into bed with these Liberals sexually and they impregnate you with an a baby, followed by becoming a parent of an aborted dead baby,,,,,so also when you climb into bed politically and they impregnate your brain and you become a slave of their ideology, you soon become the parent of a dead county, and a slave of a dead ideology that entraps your soul in dependency, an ideology foreign to all that represents the concept of being a free American.

“Team-Liars!” Slight of hand, mouth, and eye. You heard it but you really didn’t, you saw it but your eyes deceived you. Wait a second, I can hit replay and watch it over and over, yet what I see is not the reality? They would have me and the rest of you all believe this merde? Bro-Biden, a man who claims to come from a “Southern State,” the state of Delaware. Right Bro, Delaware was with the “Confederacy,” rewrite history while you are at it; just move the Mason-Dixon line a tad to the north. What I have learned is all a lie, what I have studied for years is all wrong but, the Team-Liars have the absolute truth for me? “Don’t look at that man behind the curtain.” Lo and behold my senses decieve me; Team Liars are omnipotent and they have the mass media to prove them so. If, per chance, you happen to just stumbleupon what you believe to be the truth, copy it, photograph it, write it down, copy and paste; because before you blink it will have disappeared or been disappeared. “Why it was there yesterday…” Magic! So cunning in their ways, so slick they could slide up a tree.

That does not impress southerners to use the word “y’all”. Actually, they consider that a slap in the face. Biden said exactly what he mean and meant what he said. INgteresting, Obama couldn’t even commment ont he shooting incident just as he said nothing about the shooting at Fort Hood and referred to that as “a workplace incident.” right, is that another name for a terrorist attack? I don’t think so. ehat an empty, shallow man he is.

Little John to Robin The Hood,” Hey Robin who we going to rob and plunder next, now that we about broke the country?”
“Shh! Maid Moochelle might hear you. She is counting on some more lavish vacations in the Orient. Maybe we can borrow some money from England, or maybe Saudi Arabia? Those Arabs got lots of our oil money?”
“Yeah. They got black gold. What you say we go eat at that restaurant I use to eat at fifty years ago? Huh? Pretty please Robin?
“Little John I told you that restaurant closed years and years ago. Folks are going to think you are kind of dotty if you keep bringing that old restaurant up. And no we are not still in NC.”

Why do you make fun of Michelle Obama’s name? Is it that you can’t stand black women?

No,,,,we just can’t stand moochers, who mooch off the honest labor of honest American citizens who we entrust our hard earn dollars to to invest for us, but just get spent on playtime and parties for themselves who they mistakenly perceive to be royalty, or spent the dishonest churls and naves who do not earn their fair share. This IS America, not sherwood forest where the Chicago robbing hoods cannot see the forest through the trees.

inluminatuo, please correct me if I’ve gotten the wrong impression about the poking of fun at Michelle Obama’s name. I’ve always taken it as calling her a cow because certain people have made fun of her looks, which I believe were based on racism. Are saying it’s more based on the fact as you stated that she’s a moocher and enabler of moochers?

By the way, I’m a conservative Constitutionalist who wants to see Obama and company impeached or voted out of office. Thus I don’t want to us give an excuse for sympathy for the Obamas and their fabian socialism.

Thanks,
Bob

I don’t know about anybody else, but I make fun of her because she’s a spoiled, entitlement minded, hate filled, divisive, self-absorbed racist pig who thinks it’s all about her and the world owes her a living due to her being melanin privileged. If there’s any doubt about my accusations, take a look at her master’s thesis from Princeton. She is fashion challenged as to choice of apparel and appropriateness of those choices to the occasion. Putting expensive clothes on her redefines the expression, “Lipstick on a pig”. Making fun of her looks is not based on racism other than slamming hominids who, with so much potential, allow themselves to write off mirrors as liars and believe their inflated self image is reality. Black, white, yellow, tan, red, whatever. No matter the color the chassis shouts, “Blivet!”

Personally, my pet name for her is “Me-me-mechelle”. Is that better as not referring to the bovine? Incidentally, I always thought Moochelle was a take on “moocher” as referenced by Ayn Rand, along with “looter”, both of which describe the soon to be former First Lady who needs a staff of 53, whose salaries we pay, to make her presentable for public appearances and keep her from speaking whenever she refuses to take her meds.

Whoops! I was wrong and I’m big enough to admit it. I just saw a show on TV about the Little Black Dress and…wait for it…Me-me-mechelle is the most elegant First Lady since Jackie O. Yep, you heard me right. She’s such an elegant trend setter that she had her official White House portrait done with her wearing a “Little Black Dress”, or maybe a Plus Size Black Dress. The only appropriate comment would be coined by the Valley Girls, “Gag me with a spoon!”

Michelle O is not elegant, and she made a statement after BHO was in office, that “For the first time I am proud of America”. Oh man, that sent me into orbit! I have been proud of America EVERY day of my life! I thought it was a privlege and and honor to live here. Well, until now..but that will change, come November, right? It just has to!

dana64,
I remember that statement of hers, but being originally from Chicago, I know all about the Cook County Democratic Machine and was all over these clowns from day one and knew about Bill and Bernardine and the Weather Underground. For a little more information on the ramifications of that association, check out Bernardine’s take on the Sharon Tate murder. Birds of a feather and all that.

Every time I think I have a handle on human stupidity, I find that I’ve been overly optimistic and the ’08 election caused me to drop my estimation several magnitudes.

Being the first baby boomer, I had the luxury of spending my youth in America’s Second Golden Age (’45-’63) and have to admit that I took it for granted. It wasn’t until the SE Asian War Games that I found that most of the world wasn’t like the US. Living and working in Germany as a civilian in the early ’70s and seeing other parts of Europe reinforced that impression. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t give thanks for having been born here.

I’m not counting my chickens on the outcome of the election, but I am visualizing an American Renaissance. We really must have gotten on the wrong side of the Chinese to have had them lay the old, “May you live in interesting times,” curse on us.

nhpollack: I am visualizing a Renaissance with you! Regarding the Chinese curse…we owe them a LOT of money and that makes me very unsettled. I don’t think the average Obama fan thinks about things like that. Obama is too busy being a “celebrity: right now, doing his soft interviews on entertainment shows, skirting real issues. His voter base just drools and eats that garbage up…speaking of stupidity. I just shake my head in amazement!

Like you, I have been blessed with seeing other nations, and knowing how good we had it here in the US. Feeling everything I love about America being threatened and knowing how bad it can get…it has kept me awake nights.
Regarding Chicago, people seem to not connect the dots that a guy (Blago) is in prison right now for selling Obama’s vacated Senate seat, LOL..like Obama knew nothing about that deal?

nhpollack, I guess we should also remember that Mrs. Obama is a left-wing pettyfogger. I can see people disliking her for that.

Yet it’s strange how those “liberal representatives of the common people” like their fancy clothes and elaborate dinners.

However, I try not to cast aspersions about people’s looks as I’m not a handsome devil myself. But I admit I may have assumed the wrong meaning by noveldog.

dana64, not only have the Democrats dissed Mrs. Romney, but they’ve also called Romney and Ryan murderers, liars, felons, tax cheats, and racists wanting to enslave blacks. They accused a reporter of heckling Obama yet they’ve done far worse to Romney and Ryan. Furthermore, they’ve already tried to rush a stage when Ryan was addressing a rally and I for one believe it was orchestrated by Axelrod although I have no proof. They’ve used the “C” word against Republican women and even have said some should be raped. We also already know that the ACORN and SEIU types will resort to violence and destruction of property to disrupt their opponents.

Likely the campaign will get far worse. But does that justify us conservatives responding in kind as gbmagnus asked? There’re more than enough provable reasons to not vote for Mr. (intentional) Obama. Heck, there’re dozens of reasons to justify impeaching him. So let’s not sink to the level of the Mayor Daley Chicago Mob style of politics.

Biden was referring to Paul Ryan’s and Romney’s statement about unshackling the Power of American Capital and industry. I suppose if Romney tells Republican he is going to unleash the power of their brains and earning ability to the recapture American Economy and our Freedoms, he is calling them all dogs who have needed to be put on a leash?????,,,,,no it is the Democrats who have leashed the productive Americans in their mindless regulation that kills businesses and handcuffs our production capabilities by pulling managers off the production lines to push paperwork that produces nothing productive, but only provides the government with intimate company secrets and new venues for their wealth theft schemes that they can tax and appropriate in more shackling liberal assaults.

Please dont find an excuse for the gaffe machine. I listened to his remarks several times. I looked at the facts, ie the way he said it, his audience, the location and the history. Biden meant everyone he said and he meant to frighten blacks to thinkn and believe that the GOP candidates, Gov Romney and Cong Ryan want to enslave blacks! This is disgusting and not a chirp from NAACP nor Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson.

Regarding the left wing shooter, what do we expect from the left wing media. The lot of them have no shame with their outright and blatant love affair with BO!

The reactions by this president, his AG, his administration and left leaning media will never be any different. They will always hold conservatives in contempt because they fundamentally disagree with everything we stand for.
We stand in the way of the marxist agenda they want for this nation and if they aren’t stopped in this election, we will spend generations if ever undoing the utter destruction of our democracy.
Don’t listen to my words, look at their actions. They speak louder than anything anyone can ever say.

I doubt that we will get to know much about Mister Corkins, the shooter. Already the media is cleaning up the crime scene. That kind, gentle Floyd Corkins was involved in GAY anything, well that helps. A witness said of the shooter, that he appears to be a light skinned Black man, well… nothing to see here, move along, move on dot com. Oh, I forgot, The New Yorker said that guns were the problem… . They know better than us.

The 1860′s, are tossed around so casually, because little is shared of the hard crystal facts, save for smoke & mirrors. I am not so sure that any unchained perusal of Lincoln, will get the desired Poster Boy that I see forever being paraded about. August 14th marks the day that the first group of Blacks held audience with Lincoln in the White House, after the Emancipation, in Delaware, STILL a slave holding State, late in a total war, that extinguished the lives of some 750,000+ lives. (latest stats from a group in New York). The meeting was not a happy one. I wonder why?

And both Political Parties have played the hand out game to minorities. If I recall, Nixon was the instigator in Affirmative Action & Reagan expanded it. The largess of government has come from both parties, though, The LEFT –socialists…, take over of the Democrat Party, has lifted pandering, expansion of government, of power, to an orbital like elevation.

Hopefully, Romney & Ryan can avoid entanglements with the Hydra Headed PAST, and march neatly forward with a clean slate. With idiots like Biden, and a no nothing FRAUD like Obama, they can rely on their own accomplishments, their own sharp intelligence and wit, and seize the day in November.

Thanks for a good history lesson. Let’s also not forget that when Wilson became president he re-segregated the military and introduced Jim Crowe to the government right down to requiring separate bathrooms for whites and blacks in government buildings.

In addition, We should remember it was the Democrat Party who led the South out of the Union over the issue of slavery. It was the Democrat Party which started the Klu Klux Klan to terrorize blacks and abolitionists after the ?Civl War.

It was a Democrat governor who stood in the door way of a high school and said segregation for ever. It was a Republican president who sent troops to open schools to blacks. It was another Democrat governor who stood in the doorway of a college trying to keep black students out. That time it Democrat Pres. JFK who stopped him.

It was the Democrat Party that resisted Pres. Johnson on civil rights and tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Bill, but it was the Republicans who voted by a far wider margin for the Civil Rights Act which allowed it to pass. Under JFK, the Democrats had stopped the bill.

It was the Democrat House that allowed a Democrat Klu Klux Klan Grand Kleagle to sit in Congress longer than any other senator. It was a Democrat who was the only senator to vote against Marshall and Thomas nomination to the supreme Court.

So we must ask, is the Democrat Party the party of racial equality or is it the party of a racial and economic plantation?

Well, the DEVIL is in the details per history, recce1. The Democrat Party is vastly different from that of the 19th Century, and so too, the Republican Party. Lincoln’s opinions on racial equality are, shall we say to be polite, interesting.

The South leaving, in an election that Lincoln got 39% of the vote… has been ground down to the cleanly moral, Godly superior neatness of slavery. End of discussion, none needed nor desired. Move along or else. At the beginning of the war, it was about, revenue, a House divided bla bla bla. England, separated from it’s Colonies, was greatly amused at the wonton carnage by the North on the South… Karl Marx, someone that Lincoln corresponded with, was all for the war, as it was a start to something far and away, bigger… .

As your can surmise, NOT a simple subject… and we could whirlwind debate… politely, I would hope.

It is just my suggestion that Romney & Ryan, not get overly moribund in stating history this, or history that, lest they have their posteriors handed to them. Here, I guess, simple quick, POLITE, platitudes would be best.

Most politicos that I have met, are not well versed in history, and sadly, The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, or The Bill of Rights. Hopefully R & R are fluent in the constructs of what makes for our Representative Republic, at least. My guess is that they are. But history is another bag of worms all together.

(Have met Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee, curious name, you know the one that wondered if the Mars Rover photographed Neal Armstrong’s flag that he left there? Yes, she said that. Getting dizzy again…)

Obama & Biden are such blowhards, lots of smoke, no fire. R & R should have a field day clearing the clouds away and pointing out the FRAUD the Zeros that constitute the unloyal opposition. It is my hope that R & R can, as much as Reagan did, as the Tea Party has, redefine, reshape the Republican Party.

Well, the liberals can’t very well criticize the shooter, since he was a volunteer at a gay rights organization. Now, if he’d been an NRA member, or volunteered at, say, the Heritage Foundation …

Our first criminal president is fully out of the closet on his racism. It’s this kind of behavior, coupled with MFGlobal’s complete dismissal of charges against anyone in that bankrupted company, prove the Dumbocrats cannot be trusted to do anything.

Civilization can never be based on lies, deception and thievery. When a country descends into these behaviors–and believes they are normal–that country is dead.

Just one teeny tiny correction: obamanation is not our FIRST criminal president–he was preceded by the traitor slob from Arkansas–who, by the way, spent 2 years living with the top commie in Prague before he went into politics. Just a little commie graduate work, I’d imagine…

They used to say that when Nixon talked about “law & order” he was using code words that only whites would understand. I’m not sure what message we were supposed to be getting because I was not given a decoder ring. Truth is, Democrats held up civil rights legislation for decades (yes, even St. Lyndon stopped civil rights legislation). And Nixon started affirmative action, EEOC and integrated the vast majority of southern schools. Yet they accuse him of using racist code words.

But we’re not supposed to read any race baiting into Biden’s words. Who exactly were held in chains in our society? Black slaves, that’s who. So who would be ostensibly going back in chains? Why, consumers of course, right? Obama makes me very angry.

To all black citizens and black voters in America – what Biden said was NOT a gaffe. When obama spoke up in defense, they were BOTH sugar-coating the true intent of the comment to make you believe what they are ‘saying’ is true. The REAL TRUTH is obama is all for the young illegal aliens that he is giving amnesty to under the Dream Act – effective Aug 15th. THIS is what he is hiding from you: “Since I already have your votes, I need these illeal aliens’ votes more”. He will enforce businesses to hire them – You Are Toast!

Dear Lord, these people really desecrate the name and good work of Dr Martin Luther King. Yes, people like Biden is stoking the flame of hatred alright and BO too. I heard him saying that the GOP is trying to divide when he himself is doing it. Unbelievable

not surprising that these people are emboldened, afterall Holder, looked the other way when there was voter intimidation in Philly and he looked the other way when they issued a dead warrant on Zimmermans head.

Hello good people, new member here. I have such a heavy heart today, I am grief stricken that we live in a nation whose leader allows Christians and conservatives to be persecuted and shot without saying a word. Obama has used Executive Order to implement his DREAMact and put illegals over the Americans that are here struggling with unemployment, over-burdened social systems, and we just have to sit and take it. I am writing this with tears streaming down my cheeks. My daughter, a college sophomore has dreams, too. My husband and I are watching our dreams burn. I am a brokenhearted Mom for Mitt. I love this nation, with every fiber of my being. She has been so, so good to me. I wanted her to be there for my child, but we are a part of society that the Democrats hate. Just a family with good, traditional values, God loving, hard-working family-oriented people…and now we feel persecuted and unwanted. Sorry for my rant, it’s not really a rant, just me putting my feelings and heart out there for anyone, just anyone to see. I feel very alone.

Please don’t feel alone; we know just where you are and we support you and your family. Keep looking up and make sure:
Vote Romney / Ryan in November.

Dana: You hit the nail on the head–and, oh by the way, WELCOME! Your views are are shared by a majority of Americans and that fact is what the dumbocrats are working hand over fist to obfuscate. (And, sadly, they are doing quite a good job of it.) Unfortunately, as the saying goes, “the squeaky wheel gets the oil”…or however it goes. Our country is being systematically indoctrinated into accepting as normal, moral depravity such as abortion, euthanasia, sexual deviancy (homosexuality, sam-sex “marriage” etc.), rank relativism and nihilism. And, again, the marxists are winning in that game, too. We, as a nation, have lost our soul. Proof of the egregiousness of my claims will come in November if the liar and imposter in the White House is allowed to continue his blatant assault against the country he hates so much. He and his co-conspirators have weakened this country to the point of collapse–given another 4 years, we will be indistinguishable from any other despotic, tyrannical, marxist country.

Dana64, I agree with billvw, please never ever feel as if you are alone because you are not.

There is true hope come Nov. It is not too late for all of us to right the direction of a ship heading towards the deadly whirlpool. For those who voted BO, it is not too late but hear this, November is our last call. If BO wins, this country and all of our lives would be fundamentally changed forever. So the choice cannot be clear enough.

Something has to be done to reign in a Govt that has gone out of control under BO, with no accountability and one who steals from hard working tax payers to reward his bundlers eg solyndra

Bill, Sister, pypy and The Dove: Thank you so very much, your kindness to me means a lot, and you reassurance does as well. I’m still very tearful, seeing my beautiful daughter’s young hopeful face both brightens my day and tears at my heart. I know I’m not alone, I know all of you are likely experiencing a lot of emotion as we head to November. I live in Alabama, a historically “red” state, but with a LOT of anger directed at white people in Birmingham. I was born in ’64, and in my life, have never been a racist, but I pay for the sins of others daily. It’s hard to be here, let me say that much, and there are rumors of dangerous riots, PROMISES of such from certain groups, and it’s all a bit much. I have a Romney/Ryan sticker on my car, and it was vandalized with me in it last week. I tried to talk to the newspaper about it, no luck…they are very biased as I am finding most media is. I am committed to standing up for what I believe is right and I am glad I found you guys, I may have a weak moment now and then, but I’m not giving up! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the much-needed encouragement. I plan to enjoy sharing with you all in the upcoming months and years!

Dana,
You are certainly not alone and while you may feel overwhelmed, you’re not helpless. I think that Conservative women are going to be the driving force in turning the country around. If you’re feeling anxious about your safety, please take advantage of your inalienable rights under the 2nd Amendment. You’ve got heart and enough strength of character to share your feelings with people who were formerly strangers, but are now your extended family.

As Thomas Paine, so eloquently put it in “The Crisis”,
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.”

You may make substitutions for people and places to bring it up to date if you’d like, but as written so long ago, it’s a timeless message from someone who was instrumental in creating this blessing we are so privileged to share-The United States of America.

It’s amazing how little voters read up and study on Presidential candidates, and I know that Obama exploits that…so I am trying to do my part to encourage voters to go beyond the mainstream biased media and research independently and truly study in the upcoming weeks.

You are so not alone, dana, as most here see through the same glasses as you. America proud, God loving, Jesus Christ washed, and soul paid for through his blood to the last.
If you despise the lies, hate the change, and want to take our Glorious Country back, I am right by your side and will fight, elbow to elbow to the very last soul, for the freedom we were granted in our Constitution, fought and paid for by our Military people, to retain that freedom.
The current Administration, it seems, are all dead set on the TOTAL destruction of our Country. There are many many of us out here that will not let this happen to us, ANY OF US. No American left behind.
GOD BLES AMERICA, and any who stand for the Greatness of her.
I solemnly swear to protect, and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America against any and all enemies, foreign or domestic. I swear that the American Flag, God, and Country are to whom, and what, I am ALWAYS Loyal and hold allegiance.
You are not alone, as long as any American stands, as there are many Citizens out here ready to defend, and protect, Our Country, our Constitution, or religious freedoms, and those who can not fight for themselves, against tyranny from any source, which wishes to take our Country down.
And welcome to the forum.

In my three-quarters-of-a-century, in this great nation, I cannot remember things being so “evil”! If we concentrate, very hard, on righting the injustices that have been done- – pray harder, work harder at spreading the truth and “re-educating” our children, grandchildren, friends, neighbors and associates, by giving them the “honest” facts and “true histories”, directing them to the sources where they can “prove it” for themselves, we can and will overcome the evil in DC and elsewhere in the world!

Freedomfighter & June: Thank you for those uplifting messages! I was reading some online newspapers this morning, and the weak arguments about tax returns, and other non-issues the democrats keep harping on are so small compared to the destruction of our nation that is taking place, and they are so blind! They use the tiniest things to deflect the real problems with their precious “leader” and I am both shocked and sickened at how uneducated and misguided much of the public is.

I think in November, TRUTH and DIGNITY will prevail at the polls. Most Americans are very unhappy right now, with the state our nation is in. Common sense must prevail, for those that are undecided. The tired rhetoric of the Democrats is getting boring, even to some of them…I see it. More will be revealed about Obama that cannot be brushed aside, I feel and the only good decision people will be able to make is a vote for Romney/Ryan 2012! Yes, I am pumped! I am re-charged! I am ready! Come on America! Let’s save our nation!

Both parties need to stop the negative attacks and adds and come clean with the American people. Jobs, Taxes, Education and Bank regulation are the 4 main topics I see. As a conservative republican I am sick of all the black and white racist talk. Its time the Republicans took the high road. Knowing Plans after the election is unacceptable and will only strengthen the other party.

What??? What is going on in America and in the political arena is far more than just jobs, taxes, education and bank regulations! We are talking about the soul of this country! For a conservative republican, you don’t seem to understand the depth of the moral decay that is spreading like a cancer in our country. Even the most moderate republican knows that. And, by the way, the only racism I see or hear these days comes from the dumbocrats. The four main topics that you cite are nothing more than smoke and mirrors to distract us from the reality that our country is becoming a moral cesspool.

Sisterterese is right…that is the very heart of the matter. I have always been more of a moderate, and I am seeing what sister is talking about more clearly every day. I have personally repented for not being more of a stand-up person against the moral decline of our nation. All that is changing, however, for there are many things about Barack Hussein Obama that have awakened and enlightened me, and I see things more clearly than ever before. I refuse to be lulled to sleep by his empty promises, outright lies, and I am convinced that he, for the most part, hates America. Eric Holder and others need to be in prison, the entire administration is guilty of tyranny.

I agree sistererese.

The Founders in their experiment in self representative government were clear that a MORAL–Religious People were at the heart of successful self governance. They constantly talked about this. They saw the decline and demise of Nations, such as Rome… and concluded that a Moral People had to exist if the The Republic was to exist and not decline into tyranny… .

And I cannot recall that anything has been said per race, by Romney. Ever since Obama popped into existence, race this and that, has been thrown about, used, by Executive Decree pandered to, and by The Department of “Justice” freely discriminated for, on one group, and attacked for another group. I could use some simple words here, but that would be frowned upon.

Doing what is right for The Republic is the important goal. If that is racist, so be it. The whole race word is a control word for the LEFT to beat into submission, opposition. ( I think that Communists came up with that word construct ) Want voting fraud to be controlled. Racist. On and on…ad nausium.

I can see the next Obama Bumper Sticker already;
The GOP wants to put Ya’All back in chains.

This election season is going to get worse before it gets better. All of these ‘so-called’ gaffes are well-planned by Obabatundi’s advisers. It’s all about distraction away from real issues. People are talking about chains instead of being outraged by scenes of illegal aliens waiting on long lines to get free entry papers, vehicle license’s, and voter registrations. But the Romney tide is shifting in his favor, and Bari, like all RATS on a sinking ship, is looking for a ropeline to scurry off. The man has NO SOUL.

Don’t believe for a minute Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing and what he wants to do to this country. He is a “clear and present danger” to America, don’t doubt that for a minute.

It apparently predates Jeremiah 5:21-22. Also popularly used by Jonathan Swift in the 1700′s.

Matthew Henry (1662-1714), a British philosopher/commentator on matters concerning religion, especially the bible. He was commenting on Jeremiah 5:21:
“Pay attention to this, foolish and senseless people
Who have eyes and see not, who have ears and hear not.”

Predating that, Africans captured other Africans and sold them to Arab slave traders who brought them here. That’s the only amusing thing about “Calypso” Louie Farrakhan, his Nation of Islam and his Arab “brothers and sisters”.

Establishing a rapport by identifying with the group to which one is speaking is an effective tactic. As ridiculous as Hillary Clinton sounded during the campaign of 2008, attempting some ethnic identification, and the VEEP did in doing the same thing, you would think that it would not be a repeated tactic, especially in the age in which we live with the sensitivity that is usually displayed regarding it. What people of the same ethnicity do in their own company is done on the basis of mutual understanding and can not be assumed by outsiders of other ethnicities or racial identifications. It is interesting how inclusive liberal democracy is.

Their inclusivity (is that a word?? ) exludes anyone who disagrees with their agenda.

I’d just love to see La Clinton in Florida addressing a group of elderly Jews and swapping kreplach and cholent recipes while telling them how much she’s kvelling over the nachas her daughter’s marriage is giving her. I went to high school with her where she was two years behind me and a Young Republican. While the years haven’t been very kind to her, she wasn’t much better then. As one of about half a dozen Jews, in a school of about 3500 WASPs from Park Ridge, IL, high school wasn’t a whole hell of a lot of fun and I encountered less anti-semitism when living and working in Germany in the early ’70s than I did at her alma mater, Maine Township High School.

The whole campaign thing is a loss of dignity from the crats.
They cannot talk about failed plans, policies, and promises, so they do the only thing they have left. They make a Race issue of it.
The reality is, in my opinion, that in 2008 the people of this great Country put hatred, and racism behind them and showed how far from that garbage we have come, and elected a black man as President of our great nation. Does that seem like a racist act to you?. It certainly doesn’t to me.

Here it is in a nutshell. America proved without a doubt that the racism issues had been left far behind, and in so doing, elected a racist to run our Country.
Very well witnessed, as any comment made about Nobamas running of the Country, or bad policies, makes us racists. We cannot make comment in any manner about what he is doing to our Country, because if we do, it is not a attack upon the issues, but, according to them a attack upon him, making us racists.
I hope the American people will see what it is that they are doing, which is avoiding the true issues of bad decisions, failed policies, and nothing but lies, and TAKE OUT THE TRASH IN NOVEMBER.

I am from Illinois. Born in Chicago. The people of this country did anything but take the race out of politics when Obama got elected. That was why most people voted for him. To show they weren’t racist. These same people forgot to treat him like he wasn’t half black and look at him like he was just another man. Because one look at his record would have shown you that he had done nothing for his constituency while in the Illinois legislature. I never even heard of him before the US Senatorial election. What did he do for Illinois in the US Senate? Nothing. He was in office only 6 months when he decided to run for president. Lmao. Based on what I’m not sure. But the only reason he kept winning is because of his race. Because this man is by and far the most inept, incompetent, laziest human being I have ever seen gain public office. And when he became president, they wanted to assign his US Senate seat to a black person because they deserved it. Those things are based solely on race. It’s just that people are missing what this was supposed to be all about. Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted to see a country based on the character and talents of a man, not on the color of his skin. People still base it on the color of ones skin and not on the quality of their character or the talents that they have. It’s just now they all want to show that they arent racist and they have no idea how to balance that need with actually judging people on their true character or talents. Cause let’s face it, there aren’t a lotof famous people out there on tv or in the movies who have character, talent and intelligence. And there is even less of that shown in the political spectrum. I didn’t like George Bush, but i like Obama a whole lot less.

Well, guys and gals, I am from Delaware and will tell you y’all is a familiar and frequently used phrase in Southern Delaware, so forget the fact it is a Deep South term.
Remember the fact that Biden is an absolute idiot. His connections with the Dupont family got him elected and has kept him in office. How this ignoramus got to be VP is pretty obvious. Obama does not have to be afraid of an assassination attempt because even the most uninformed among us does not want to see Joe Biden elevated to the highest office in the land.

Obama and what passes for a Democrat today are World Class Hypocrites! I am absolutely ashamed of my President and the Gang of Losers he has surrounded himself with! What a Liar, Loser, Fraud, Phony and Thief. He is also a Traitor and Racist. What a ***!

Do not downplay D’Souza. Obama has one abiding interest, destroy the America we know and love. Destroy the Constitution as the Bible of the United States of America, At each and every turn he spits in the eye of the laws of the land, daring anyone to even try to uphold him to the Oath of Office. These farcical charades are just grist for the mill, hiding his true attempts at total annihilation of the last great ‘Imperial’ power.

The part that most people miss is that it’s not the conservatives that are racist. The conservatives and the Republican party believe in the ability of black men and women to make something of themselves. The Democrats do not believe in the black men and womens abilities. That is why they give them food stamps, dependent care, etc. They believe in their own superiority over these ‘people of lesser quality’. They are like the condescending relative who has money. But instead of teaching you what it takes to be successful, they’ll give you a handout, but not a hand up. Because in their eyes you aren’t worth the effort to teach you a thing . Like the book says, give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. They’d rather the black men and women eat for a day. They stay dependent on the Democrats that way and the Democrats stay in office.

America is the leader of the world for human rights until this take over marxist communist regime came on board! To hear dimwit biden spew these words of hatred to black,white,brown and any other nationality in that audience or any place is a lame duck Bigot spewing! You and your kind need to be gone! The United States of America deserves so much better than this!

Speaking of racial tension, I have read that a possible tactic of Camp Obama might be a phony assassination attempt to garner sympathy votes and further divide the nation..possibly even causing the election to be postponed. Anyone else hear this? He wants there to be riots, and he will fuel them, I feel. And, we all know that he will do ANYTHING to remain in power. He proves that daily.

the left wing media won’t cover this story. even after all that he’s lied about (birth certificate,being gay,fast and furious,no taxes on those making 250,000 or less, immigration,and the list goes on…) they still must protect their prize puppet. We all must do our part to spread the word to all americans of what a phoney, traitor, commie, ***,junkie this imposter in chief is and vote him out this November.

The Left-wing MSM won’t cover the story because it’s been infiltrated by socialists and progressives. They’ve become part of the Chicago Mob Democrat Party political machine.

In addition, perhaps you remember Obama’s attempt to use the NEA to establish a cult of personality.

Evidently, it is true, that there is nothing new, under the sun. Even as it was so, 150 years ago, that Mr. Biden’s party was the party of slavery, so is it so, in this day, that his party is the party of the government plantation, of the institutionalized servitude of the taxpayer. It is they who are as morbidly covetous of power as are the limitlessly lightless luminaries of his party, relentless exponents as they are of the endless aggrandizement of government, intent as they are upon their constituting a new class of overseers, an American nomenklatura, to supervise the proletariat that they are feverishly endeavoring to fashion, who believe, as they believe, that it is they, morally superior beings whom they esteem themselves to be, who naturally ought to comprise the ruling class, who must be regarded as being, the true oppressors.

Reference Jeremiah 5.17-25 and Ezekiel chapter 33.
The core issue of current affairs remains the LOSS of our STATES RIGHTS (1865). Reference Declaration of Independence which gives us a clear DUTY (and not suggestion) to ABOLISH the govt when it becomes tyrannical. Thus, the only solution left us SECESSION SECESSION SECESSION SECESSION and NOW NOW NOW. In 1866-77 we went through the period of REDESTRUCTION. The South were divided in 5 MILITARY DISTRICTS and lived under martial law (which is coming to a state near you).
Obama was reelected on the 1st of May 2011. The LORD has always used pagans to achieve his goals. So take the plank out of your own eye; we the people are the problem because we refuse to embrace SECESSION.

And you, the South, are hated for this?! Tells much for what is known or followed.

recce1, that is an over the top, ridiculous assertion. If you have read anything, anything that I have written, either on this thread or others, saying that I am one with Obama’s plan per a Marxist… state implies that you have not read, or I just don’t fit into your personal parameter of what you think is proper thinking. More than fine with me.

That you jumble up Marxists & Fascists so breathlessly, well, get out some books and study. Obama, his associations, his actions, are firmly in the Marxist camp, and ultimately that is the direction that is intended and admired.

Celticwarrior outlined just a few “jewels” of the 1860′s–70′s of Republican dominance and spread of Federal power, and growth, at the damning expense of The Republic & We the People. Along this thread, there are sanctimonious comments about slavery, Lincoln… . AGAIN, it is a suggestion to let those sleeping dogs lie. Kicking them does not mean that Mitt & Ryan are in the election… . Bizarre per withdraw if they don’t. Humm? Something is amiss here per your intentions.

Mitt & Ryan have plenty on their plate as it is. For months I have written to support Ryan, here and elsewhere with those who might have someone’s ear. Why? Ryan, besides being quick on his feet smart…, has a keen understanding of the train wreck of the Federal budget… . Someone like this as VP means that Romney is serious about the budget. If the economy finally turns belly up, if the Fed. finally runs out of phoney money, then, game over. If Romney does well, in 8 years, Ryan is a shoo in. We need this stability.

4 more years of Obama, might do the trick in taking out The Republic. The remains of The Republic have proven more difficult, more resilient than Obama thought or any other agencies out there that want The Republic, gone.

Iwesson, perhaps if your comments were less cryptic you might be understood better. By the way, I don’t follow you on other threads. I apologize if that bruises your feelings.

As it is, I don’t think you understand the relationship between fascism and socialism, which are two sides of the same coin. The best way to get to socialism is through fascism. Unfortunately, most people associate fascism with Naziism. While Nazis are fascists, fascists aren’t necessarily Nazis.

Here’s a good definition of fascism. “Fascism is an economic model in which the state dictates the utilization of privately held assets to achieve public policy goals.” Is this not what’s happening under our Federal government, especially under Obama? By the way, it has been going on since FDR, maybe since Wilson.

Under fascism, the government forces companies to do its bidding through unfunded mandates, regulations, rules, political and legal blackmail, and laws. Of course big business tries to start an incestuous relationship to control the government and is lured into a trap. But usually the government goes from controlling the means of production thru coercion to slowly buying up or confiscating the means of production. Again, is that not what’s happening in the USA? Isn’t it what Pelosi, Waters, Hinchey, and Obama have advocated?

So I suggest you hit the history books to learn about the relationship between fascism and socialism and the English books to learn how to write more cogently.

By the way, by hook or crook I believe Obama will be reelected and those who believe in a democratic Republic under the rule of constitutional law with a free market capitalist economic system will have to dust off the Declaration of Independence and take it to heart with a vengeance keeping in mind why Jefferson and Madison said the Second Amendment was written to save it. It’s either that or we admit the Great American Experiment has failed. I hope and pray I’m wrong.

My “feelings” are hardly bruised. The ONLY people who have applied the words cryptic–cogent per my writing have been Left minded individuals. They are also the ones quickest to deliver personal insults, avoid point by point debate, sliding to other topics… . I spent nearly 3 years with a Liberal Girl-fiend, a crash course in the mental works of The Left, and insanity. (she eventually changed)

Your assertion that I hit some English books, brilliant, or history books, stellar. Some kind of b—-y snarky. Pat yourself on the back or have your comrades do that.

Socialists like Obama & CO. are not the same as say a Trotsky, Lenin… their struggle to achieve their end result, is darkly multifaceted and measured with patience. If a dose of fascism is needed, so be it.

You jumped into this thread upset about some slight about Mrs. Obama that so well defines her. Upset about Moochelle? Mooch? No it was asked if Noveldog could not stand Black Women. Then you go into those who make fun of her looks because of racism. (That word was designed by a Communist) Along some other thread, not you, in a debate, objecting to Obama was ascribed as simple racism. Then you have to tell people that you are a Conservative, Constitutional at that. Very odd. And strident Patrick Henry like comments that sound good but… . Nice try Bob.
